The Department of Information and Electronic Engineering “inherits” the infrastructure and services of the Departments of Information Technology and Electronic Engineering that came together. This infrastructure is particularly satisfactory and can fully support all the educational and research needs of the new Department.
Lecture classrooms
Each of the 9 lecture classrooms can accommodate up to 60 people with installed projection equipment connected to a local PC and internet connection capabilities
Each of the 2 amphitheaters has a capacity of 100 people and also features installed projection equipment.
Laboratory equipment
The Department operates 14 laboratory rooms on electronics items with special protection standards, such as industrial floors, isolation transformers and high voltage protection systems. Each of the 14 laboratory rooms has 10 working stations of 2 to 3 people. These laboratory rooms are used to teaching purposes but are also available to students for practicing, preparing for diploma thesis and other tasks. The adequacy, suitability and quality of the laboratory equipment are particularly satisfactory. Each of the 10 working stations is equipped with all the measuring instruments and systems that are essential to complete the training process throughout the laboratory courses.
The Euclid Room is also available in which students have the opportunity to carry out all kinds of experimental activities related either to the needs of their daily laboratory duties or to the requirements of their diploma thesis or even to the preparation of work in the context of innovative activities or research projects.
The computer laboratory training equipment is supported by a local network serviced by several servers and offers more than 190 working stations distributed over 6 laboratory rooms and staff offices:
- Operating Systems Lab (room 201) with 24 computing stations
- Information Systems and Management Lab (room 202) with 24 computing stations
- Information Processing and Software Engineering Lab (room 208) with 24 computing stations
- Programming and Multimedia Lab (room 211) with 24 computing stations
- Computing Systems, Security and Networks Lab (room 210) with 28 computing stations
- Intelligent Systems and Internet Applications Lab (room 301) with 26 computing stations
- Laboratory to support research programs (room 302) with 10 computing stations
- Offices of faculty members and technical staff with 26 stations
All of these working stations are supported by a unified network with structured cabling based on multi-mode fiber optic (gigabit) serviced by high-end networking equipment (Cisco Switches). The equipment is mostly managed and monitored by software developed by the Department or by open-source software.
